BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: From TheHill.com: "A new poll finds a trio of controversies raising public concerns about the 'honesty' of the Obama administration," not the president. "A new poll finds a trio of controversies raising public concerns about the 'honesty' of the Obama [regime], even as the president maintains his approval rating." Limbaugh Theorem again. "A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released late Tuesday shows 55% believe the IRS targeting of conservative groups raised questions about the administration's 'overall honesty and integrity...'"
But Obama had nothing to do with it.
They don't associate Obama with what the IRS did.
He had nothing to do with it.
"A plurality, 43%, also see the IRS missteps as a part of a 'widespread effort' to investigate Tea Party groups to 29% who blame the scandal on a few tax officials who were acting on their own." Get this, now. Given all the news, and even the congressional hearings on the IRS and the inspector general report and the targeting of Tea Party groups, only 43% -- not even half the country -- sees that as a purposeful effort to investigate the Tea Party. It just happened, say 43%.
That number ought to be 75, 80%. "Fifty-eight percent say the administration's handling of the attack on the Benghazi, Libya, diplomatic post also raises questions about the honesty of the White House. The same number say the Justice Department's subpoenaing of reporter email and phone records in national security leak investigations also raises concerns. But the poll also finds that the controversies have not damaged President Obama’s personal standing. Obama holds a 48% approval rating with 47% disapproving. Those numbers match his rating in the same poll taken in April."
Limbaugh Theorem.
So people in increasing numbers don't like what's happening in the country. They don't associate Obama with it at all. He's not tainted by it. His "administration" has problems. His "administration" may be dishonest. His "administration" is very, very troubling. Not him, according to the polling data. So... (interruption) See? Here's Snerdley saying, "At some point this has got to stop." I've been saying that for 25 years about the cultural rot. I have, for 25 years. Longer that than that. I've been saying about the cultural rot: "At some point it's gotta stop. At some point it's gotta bottom out. It's gotta reverse."
It hasn't.
It continues to plunge deeper and deeper, get worse and worse.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Immigration bill. You know, The Politico had a story that Dingy Harry said that Mitch McConnell told him they're not even gonna try to block the vote. They're not even gonna force cloture on it. McConnell's office sent an e-mail out and said (paraphrased), "No, no, no, no. Politico got that wrong. We're not gonna get that immigration vote without cloture, 60 votes." But there are rumblings that the Republicans in the Senate aren't going to do all that much to prevent this vote from taking place on immigration.
So, folks, we're not gonna stop Obama from being Obama. If he wants to gouge us in the eye by appointing Rice and Samantha Power, that's what he's gonna do. Show me the evidence where any of the things he's done -- from economic policy to foreign policy, to anything -- you name it, has hurt. You can't find any polling data (which all they care about in Washington) where he's been damaged by it at all. His approval number still sky-high. Well, not sky-high, but it's not dropping. It's not plummeting.
END TRANSCRIPT
I heard Hannity tell a caller he doesn’t blame Obama for the scandals on his show yesterday.
proof positive. Half of those in this country are idiots.
His approval is irrelevant. His agenda is dead, the IRS is on trial, its another hit to Obamacare, and he’ll spend the rest of his term talking about this mess.
SnakeDoc
Sadly, too many Americans don’t give a damn unless ordered by a comedian, media personality, or Hollywood dolt.
well, after Moochelles blow-up last night, he might lose the dyke vote...
Just like Saddam Hussein used to get 100 percent of “the vote”.
Oh sure, Hussein Obama is hugely popular! Yes indeedy. More popular than ever.
I think people are scared to say what they think of obama. You get a phone call, they have your number, you see what happened to 500 organization & their people who disagree with obama, do they dare tell the truth?
He’s set a floor of 47% on his approval with SNAP cards and Obamaphones.
That being said, I agree that from this point forward he’s basically a celebrity amateur golfer.
His approval rating will not Change.
Black will approve of anything he does because he is black
Hispanics will approve of anything he does as long as he doesn’t stop illegals and keeps sending them checks.
Women will always approve of him as long as they have appointments with Dr. Gosnell to kill their children
liberals will approve of anything as long as it is Socialism.
Yeah, we hear ya’ 0...”It don’t bother me none”
1) The public does not know about the corruption in this administration. TV, radio, and the press, with a few exceptions, are Democrat whores.
2) Because our education system is, by and large, a propaganda machine (occasionally interrupted by math and science), most people would not understand the evil implications of the misuse of power, even if radio, TV, and newspapers decided to publish that news.
But we need to keep in mind that "the" problem is the quality of the voters in this country. I don't see how that situation gets turned around.
We have an on-going joke at work about IQ’s.
It was reported that Britney Spears’ IQ is 98. (It’s not verified, but funny anyway) Therefore by definition, almost half the population is dumber than Britney Spears.
Think about that while you drive home tonight. Almost half the drivers are dumber than Britney Spears.
Yep. People are blaming Obama’s workers but not him as head man in charge. I have seen that before but not in politics. Kinda crazy.
What? Even Hannity can’t connect a few simple dots?
The only thing that makes any sense is that the pig in the oval office is in these scandals up to his eyeballs. Any other scenario doesn’t even hold a thimble full of water.
One thing that stands out in all these scandals is that Obama was the direct beneficiary, all helping him to win an election and persecute and stall his political enemies.
Because the media keeps America in the dark on such matters.
His approval rating will not Change.
Blacks will approve of anything he does because he is black.
Hispanics will approve of anything he does as long as he doesn’t stop illegals (from entering the U.S. unencumbered) and keeps sending them checks.
Couldn't have said it better myself. And it's all TRUE, too.
0bama skates away because of the co-conspirator press and our dumbed down public education system. It’s the commies’ dream come true.
Liberals have no morals so they aren’t bothered when their representatives cheat, lie, steal, swindle and commit crimes.
